foun.i To be quite as effective OIL the level

gan to pierce tic far interior and out yings sub

big dividends, it became a very desirable
thing on the part Of the managers and di-
rectors to have the patronage of tile little

Californian who may hate him heartily, as Il

And SO committee was sent to wait on the
head of all the little brown men and find out,
if possible, why they would not ride on the
wonderful little cars that swept noiselessly up

steam, or man, or any visible means Of
motion whatever. @s4
1t is reported that the grave and dienified
head Chinaman smoked his opium pipazin

the committee had to say. And when the
members of the committee had exhausted all
their eloquence and ability by way of ex-

man rose up slowly, laid his big pipe aside,

said he, took fever and when he kicked
tile bucket we didn't delay long, but tied an
old grindstone and a rusty AK to him to weight
him and ehucked him overheard His boy
was aboard, and as Sims body went over
big shark came up, opened his jaws, and into
the sharks nlaw went Sim His boy saw it,
gave q yell and sprang overheard. The shark
hadn't got his mouth shut yet, and the boy
went straight after his father. An hour
afterward an old whopper Of shark came
up 'longsde OF us, and We made up our minds
to capture him. We baited shark hook with
pork, presented it to him and in half a
minute had the old man eater fast. We got
him aboard by hard work and cut him open,
and what should we see inside of him but Sim
Clipp and his boy. We had captured their
shark. The funniest part of the matter was
that both Sim and the boy were alive. We
had made mistake about Sim being dead
when we cast him in the sea, and he had gone
down the sharks throat and come to just as
his boy went humping in against him. He
and the hoy held council, and what do you
think they were doing when we cut the shark
opens Rigging up the grindstone to sharpen
the ak, SO they could cut hole in the shark
and escape New York Sun.

CAPTAIN GENERALS COUNTRY HOUSE.
A Cuban hotel is curiosity to strangers.
The dining rooms here face the street, and
they are as open as though no wall separated
them from it The office counter and the
writing table, Or writing room, are at the end
Of the dining room, and eating, writing and
business goes on inside of the same walls.
This room however, is a large square one,
and there is no confusion. The dining tables
are of all sizes, SO that one can dine alone or
a party of a dozen and more can eat their
table d'hotc together. As to decoration, the
brightest of colors are used in the interior
painting of the hotel, and in some rooms fres-

Yesterday afternoon we met MIR. Williams,
the American consul general for Cuba. He
is a gray haired, fine looking man, with blue
eyes, distingue air, and beal,. cut alter
the style OF that of Louis Napoleon. He has
resided in Cuba for many years, and speaks
the Spanish like native. The captain gem
eral of the island, who is the ruler of it al,-
pointed by Spain, invited Senator Sherman
and his party to call upon him informally,
and, with Gen. Williams as interpreters the
senatorial party visited him at his palace to-
day The captain general Is the biggest man
in Cuba He has almost despotic power. and
he is more OF a monarch in this respect than
most of the European kings. He receives, I
am told, q salary OF S50, 900 year, and has
perauisites which often run into many
thousands more He has a house here
at Havana furnished for him, and his position Is
altogether most desirable one. He IS always,
as are almost all of the officials OF GHba, q
Spaniard and is appointed for an indefinite time
by the Spanish crown.

view one would say: They are simply the re-
mains of original Dakota; all was highland,
the rest is washed away. But he would be
wrong. The coteaux even more than the
prairies show that they are the result of drift;
the earth is a compact blue clay, and
there as here the few boulders are on
top of the hills, showing that they
were brought here by ice. Let geolo-
gists furnish the explanation; the practical
fact is that all the eastern part of this main
coteau has a singularly mild winter climate.
